Source for this claim? [Edit: I seem some references in links on that ACLU page referring to "parole" being denied. Is this what you are referring to?]

Shouldn't be an issue then since ICE doesn't operate concentration camps.

This letter does not appear, at all, to endorse the silly use of the term "concentration camp" in reference to U.S. immigration detention facilities. Rather, they seem to have taken issue with one particular broadly written senten

It has to be granted.

Just because someone petitions for asylum doesn't mean they have a valid claim to it. If your position is that anyone claiming asylum should not be detained, how do you propose to differentiate between valid and invalid claims such as

They don't care quite enough to give up their inflated Bay Area salary or stock options.

The disparity in quality of life, economy, freedom, etc, between the 50 states is not nearly as great as it is between the United States and many Central and South American countries. There is no material reason, economic incentive, or poli

It's software. What you or anyone else does with it is your own responsibility.

Nice try. Concentration camp is an extremely loaded term and using it in this context serves absolutely no productive purpose.

> crossing the border to claim asylum is explicitly legal No, it isn't. You can file the application no matter how you entered or what your current status is, but that doesn't post-facto make an illegal entry suddenly legal.

Selling a piece of enterprise software != alignment. It's a sale, nothing more.

There is a vast difference between selling software to your own government for their use and directly, actively, and punitively screwing with an individual a foreign government doesn't like.

by LiNeXT 7y ago
Yes. Immigration enforcement is a legitimate government function.

This isn't difficult. You claimed that "nothing is apolitical." That's an entirely different statement than grandstanding on this particular issue by invoking "concentration camps." Plenty of things are apoliti

ICE aren't "the Nazis" and immigration enforcement isn't the Holocaust.
